pending 377965 thanks In summer 2006 support for Python Policy 2 was applied to CDBS.
That implementation was broken in several ways, one of them being that it only supported a single package, and another (related one) that the default list of target binary packages changed from all sensibly-named packages to the single topmost somewhat-sensibly named one.
Thanks to Matthias Klose this bug revealed those issues, but unfortunately was fixed wrongly, by simply relaxing the scope of the dh_* command, essentially covering up the real problem.
Next cdbs release will contain a proper fix for this - but since 4 years have gone by with python-distutils (and other snippets following that) behaving wrongly, the broken behavior is kept for legacy pycentral and pysupport, and the proper fix applied only for new python2/python2 systems.
